Scanner Reports 9-15-17

Here we go again. I feel like I have had my ass kicked again and no one was there. Maybe I kicked my own ass; that would explain my back being out. Well I waited out in front of my house a couple hours the other day. No one came by except this tall bean-pole guy across the street in front of the Habit, chain smoking cigarettes, looking at me. I wasn't paranoid. Anyway, we all have our different opinions here on Edhat, all being somewhat human, and if I am expected to be everything that all of you expect me to be, then I expect you to call me by my first two names, King Roger. Heehee. We’re not all going to agree on things; that is just the way it is. If someone's going to sandblast me, I may keep quiet for a while, but sooner or later something is going to come out. This is why I don't hold in my farts. I know that not everything is about me. Although in my personal life it is, as your life is for you.

Concerning the beheading of the statue, it's not something that I would personally do, but I thought, given all I have heard about this guy being who he was then being made a saint, I figured sooner or later something would happen. The only things that make me anti Catholic is the molestation of children under the care of the priests that raped them. There are many cases of this that occurred here in Santa Barbara and I personally know some of the victims. And they are not liars. Besides their word, a settlement in a court case is an admission of guilt in my opinion. I was never raped by a priest. Had it happened to me I would have done something to pay back the church and that priest that would never be forgotten, like destroy the church. I would not be worried about going to hell because being raped is like being in hell. Though the action may not last an eternity, some victims never recover. It took me many, many years not to want kill people and sometimes the feeling came on so strong I had to go away, which meant hiding in a bottle. Thank the Good Dog for alcohol. Though it damn near took my life, it saved many others. That was one of the reasons me and Belinda were together, as she went through many of the things I have. Unfortunately she is no longer here on Earth. I hope with all my heart she is waiting for me in the Great Beyond wherever that might be.

The second thing that really annoys me about Catholics is that many of them think they are saints and most of those are in my family, because not only am I Catholic, but the rest of my family is too. There you are, the two things that make me anti-Catholic. It has driven me to join the Glorious Church of Skatan, though I am not very good at my faith. I sin a lot. Though a king, I am only human.

Oil We Stuck Oil1 Just kidding There are so many choppers around here now you never know who they are or where they are coming from or if there someones parent...Mauve years ago when I first came to Santa Barbara I had just gotton off work I was walking South on State street with the new issue of Easyriders under my arm...A female good looking gal walked up to me with one of those Watchtower books shoved it in my face and said..."You look like you need one of these." I said it back while opening up the Easyriders to a centerfold of a naked biker gal on a Harley Davidson MC....This gal dropped all the Watchtowers and went screaming down the street I never saw her again....LMAO. Thank you Laughing I like you too..

Thank you Roger for your introductory comments. I was raised Catholic as well, and I get you. I think religion in general gives an excuse to "wall oneself off" from the rest of humanity, or perhaps to feel "cleaner" somehow. I hate it when religious folks approach me at the bus stop (or wherever) thinking they have special insight that others don't have. When I ask them why they think they are more enlightened than I might be, they always say they have "something special to share," as if they are doing it for a generous reason. They aren't. I know this because of all the "christians" in politics that want to take away my healthcare in order to pay for a tax cut for the rich. As if Jesus would like that.

I am not sure I think maybe it could have been a sight seeing chopper I did not see it myself but it could have been them. It might have also been a Mercy flight coming in to land at Cottage earlier I heard County 308 going up with several on board but I think he just went back to Santa Ynez Airport if I should hear anything else I'll post it.

I have a question in relation to your scanner reports and hopefully someone can help out. I was wondering if anyone knew the reason for the helicopter flying low and back and forth over Honda Valley on the Mesa? Just happened about 10 min ago. I am not familiar with the new Ed Hat format, couldn't find any info on this today and yet am persisting. Let me know any helpful tips. Thank you!

Don't know why it would pose any questions. There is a 30" natural gas pipeline that runs through here that feeds us and cities up north to Santa Maria and SLO. It's in the foothills in Montecito then between the freeway and the bluffs out by Naples. It's patrolled frequently in case of any unauthorized excavation near it. A dozer hit it out by Naples some 25+ years ago and the freeway was shut down for hours. I was over a mile away in traffic and could clearly hear the roar of the leak. Luckily I was S-bnd at Las Varas and able to turn around and back to Buellton and over the pass, people in front of me were stuck there for hours.

I saw it too, it said "pipeline survey" on the side. A google search brought up a company whose website said, "routine aerial patrols of natural gas and petroleum pipelines are a significant portion of our revenue." That may pose as many questions as it answers.
